Accurate attendance records are a Ministry requirement and a safeguarding essential. ATT-300 replaces paper roll-call books with a fast digital register that works fully offline and automatically alerts parents when their child is absent.
Zimbabwean primary and secondary schools track attendance at two points per day: morning assembly/period 1 and afternoon return. ATT-300 mirrors this structure digitally.
Class teachers mark morning attendance from their classroom computer or tablet during period 1. Students are marked Present, Absent, or Late. The register locks automatically after a configurable cut-off time (e.g., 08:30).
A second register at the start of the afternoon session captures learners who left during the break or arrived late after lunch. This is critical for boarding schools managing learner movements.
When a parent notifies the school of an absence (phone call, WhatsApp, or note), the registrar or class teacher updates the absence reason: Sick, Family Emergency, Suspension, Authorised Absence, or Unknown. This affects reporting.
The Deputy Headmaster's dashboard shows a real-time whole-school attendance summary: total present, total absent by grade, and a list of unreported absences requiring follow-up — all updated as teachers submit their registers.
Teacher absenteeism directly affects learner outcomes. ATT-300 tracks staff attendance and lesson coverage to give management full visibility.
ATT-300 transforms daily register data into management intelligence — helping school leaders identify patterns before they become problems.
View absenteeism rates by individual student, class, grade, or whole school over any date range. Identify learners with more than 5% absenteeism for welfare follow-up.
Identify if absenteeism spikes on Mondays (post-weekend) or Fridays (early departures). Use this data to schedule important lessons strategically and address pattern truancy.
The system automatically flags students with three or more consecutive unexplained absences for senior management review, supporting early intervention before school dropout occurs.
ATT-300 generates all attendance reports required by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education for provincial and district school inspector visits.
Generate monthly attendance summaries per class in the Ministry's standard format. Reports show total school days, present days, absent days, and percentage attendance for each learner.
Print or PDF individual attendance certificates per student per term — required by ZIMSEC for examination candidates who must demonstrate minimum attendance to qualify for external examinations.
Produce a full class register showing day-by-day attendance for any class for any period. Formatted for A3 printing with the class teacher's signature block — exactly what school inspectors request.
End-of-term statistical attendance tables by gender, grade, and school level — ready for submission to the District Schools Inspector as part of the school's termly returns.
Attendance cannot wait for the internet. ATT-300 runs entirely on the school's local server — no connection to ZimHPC cloud is needed for daily operations.
ATT-300 feeds absenteeism alerts directly into COM-400 for instant SMS and WhatsApp parent notifications.
Lesson coverage in ATT-300 links to the timetable in TTS-300 — showing exactly which periods were missed and by which teacher.
Attendance percentages from ATT-300 are printed directly on report cards generated by RPT-800.
